The Idle Patriarch
Wen Zhao transmigrated to the Xuanwu Continent fifteen years ago — tricked into discipleship by a dying Patriarch who promised legendary talent, then left alone in a ruined sect with the worst cultivation record in history. When the system finally activates (fifteen years late, with apologies), it grants him Earth Emperor power and a mission: recruit ten genius disciples and prepare humanity for the return of the Shadow Sovereigns. What follows is the most dangerous man in the world pretending to be a very relaxed teacher.
